Don't worry, I believe you :)

Alright - but what I want to do is not necessarily word-wrap Japanese
text. What I want to do is make sure that wordwrap() doesn't *break* the
Japanese string.
The thing is, I'm building an international site that uses UTF-8
throughout. The user will have the possibility to send mail from the
site. When the user posts the text that he/she want to send, I won't
know whether the text is in Japanese, Russian, Danish, or whatever. I'll
then use wordwrap() to make sure that strings that can be wrapped (such
as Western European and Cyrillic strings) will be wrapped - but at the
same time I want to make sure that the string doesn't break if the
string is in Japanese. It's not a big problem if the Japanese text
doesn't get wrapped - I just wanna make sure that the Japanese text
isn't broken by using wordwrap().
Anyway, thank you very much for your help. If I understand it correctly,
wordwrap() will not actually wrap Japanese text - but it won't break it
either. Is that correct?

AFAIK, there is no encoding includes " " in a Japanese char.
So Japanese text won't be wrapped by wordwrap unless you force to,
therefore wordwrap won't break.

Hello Experts.
I found that when I increase the font size in ImageTTFText(), I could get
correct Japanese characters displayed. However, one would not require such a
big font size of 17. I have tried above using Windows MSMincho fonts. When I
try to use Watanabe-mincho & Wadalab-gothic fonts coming with Linux, I get
"Problem in loading glyph".
How can I get the font size reduced to 10 without characters getting
distorted? How can I avoid glyph problems when using Linux fonts?
Please help!
Regards,
Deepak

mb_split appears to be broken in 4.2.3. I have submitted a bug report
but in the mean time ... my app is broken and I badly need a fix :(
Can anyone recommend a way for me to split japanese strings on white space?
I need this for user entered search string, which are space delimited.
Thanks.
